If you like your lunch, you can keep your lunch … April Fools!
The illustrious members of Team Obama are hard at work today, patting each other on the backs:

High-fives all around!
This morning, the AP reported that according to an anonymous “government official,” Obamacare signups have exceeded 7 million.

It’s not clear whether that number includes people who have actually paid their first premium, but then, the Obama administration really isn’t interested in making that distinction. Democrats are just glad to have something to beat their chests about:
"We don't have accurate numbers on ObamaCare enrollments… YAY! We hit 7 million!" – The White House, literally.

Celebrate? You sure about that, guys?
Hey, remember when it looked like enrollees wouldn't reach 7 million so the WH denied saying the goal was 7 million? https://t.co/Zm85PLgCAv

Now, the goal of 7 million has been met! The goal the WH made, denied making and is now taking credit for. http://t.co/IcLqS4WioC

Remember that we were told that 7 million enrollments was need just to reach SOLVENCY! Now 7 million is a success

We were told 30 million didn't have insurance. 6 million lose coverage. Now 7 mil sign up. So we're still at the SAME NUMBER OF UNINSURED!
— Matt Dawson (@SaintRPh) April 1, 2014
7 million maybe signed up after 6 million had insurance canceled. Much progress.

@petesouza @sistertoldjah shouldn't there have been almost 35mil on those rolls instantly? Isn't that how many were uninsured pre ACA? #SMH
